More than a dozen food companies have urged the European Commission not to ban the use of words such as “sausage” and “burger” for non-meat products.

Listen, I’m not a vegan, but I find this names that are bent around the bush so annoying.
Yeah, I get it , it’s not literally milk. But calling it “almond milk” is waaay smoother than “almond drink” or “almond concoction” or whatever.
Same with Malzbier.
The definition of milk literally includes plant milks. Milk has been used to describe these beverages for as long as they have existed.
I agree, but that’s not what the marketing law in Germany says. Not long ago, it was changed by conservatives to only include real cow’s milk.
What a bunch of snowflakes. Imagine that being the biggest problem in your life.
What makes it even stupider is that everyone still calls it soy- or whatever-milk.
I have seen coconut milk sold as ‘coconut drink’, even though it is not used as drink. That is stupid.
In the case of coconut there’s both the milk and the water, and coconut drink is likely the water.
It was the milk, though.
So much for my hypothesis.
i argue calling it coconut drink is stupid, because in the specific case of coconuts you should specify milk or water.
“Creamy nut juice” just didn’t do very well in the test marketing
